I was very upset with the ball this year. I've been every year for 3 years and never have I been as upset as I was this year. I got to the foot of the stairs with three others and we were booted because of our all black vans because they have rubber soles, we were dressed very nice with tie and all. The rover who also booted us was rather rude might I add, I mentioned that this was a joke and left. Those same shoes I have worn the last three years and never was it a problem, it would have been nice for the rover at the end of the line to tell us this before we waited nearly an hour in line. I overlooked everything else that was off this year but the ball is by far my favorite every year. I hope to see this rectified next year, not all of us own dress shoes and are willing to spend the money for them, for one occasion a year.
